Day 1912
Day 1912 in Seahaven Springs, under sunny skies. Rex Callahan has been discharged from Seahaven General and is right as rain. A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it. Orson Ferris and Toby Tanner no longer need a reason to call round. Nothing bad ever happens here — but something is always going on. Goodnight, Truman. In case we don't see you: good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

00:00A lighthouse postcard has been added to today's mail. Truman Beaumont collects them, and Control knows it.
04:00Rain has begun over Seahaven Springs. Umbrellas deployed with suspicious synchronization.
07:00The Bakery's fresh bread smell has reached the town square. Productivity plummets.
08:00The rain has cleared. A rainbow appeared at a frankly cinematic angle.
08:38Orson Ferris and Toby Tanner no longer need a reason to call round.
09:00The orchard is loud with bees. Nobody has been stung in living memory.
09:00Orson Ferris called Truman Beaumont by the wrong name mid-sentence, then laughed a little too quickly.
09:22Hal Brody and Bev Tanner have quietly become the sort of friends who notice things.
09:26Bram Tidewater and Hattie Whitlow have got into the habit of each other.
11:00A form has been filed correctly at the first attempt. Town Hall is quietly jubilant.
11:12The bench stays where it is. A second bench is proposed and quietly forgotten.
11:12Dot Ferris and Bram Tidewater kept their word and finished what they started.
11:12And so concludes: The Bench at The Square. The town will live with how it ended.
12:00The tide is out further than usual. Hal Brody has gone to look at what it left behind.
13:00The Town Hall clock and the bakery clock disagree by two minutes. Both are certain.
13:24Edie Gorse has stopped wondering about it, which is not quite the same as knowing.
13:48Jonah Ferris and Bea Callahan have cleared the air over a quiet chat.
13:48Bea Callahan and Jonah Ferris have cleared the air over a quiet chat.
14:00There is one more chair at The Anchor than there was yesterday. Rex has not mentioned it.
15:00The photocopier at Seahaven Mutual is making the noise again. Linus Tidewater has been elected to deal with it.
15:23Opal Ferris is not brilliant at sketching the shoreline, and is no longer pretending to be. It stuck anyway.
16:00Clouds drift in over the bay. The fishermen pretend not to enjoy it.
16:00A studio lamp came loose and struck the road beside Truman Beaumont. Control has logged it as "debris".
17:06Elaine Whitlow and Marla Finch kept their word and finished what they started.
20:00The light over Seahaven Springs this evening is almost unreasonably good.
21:59Orson Ferris has declared this the finest town in the world. Twice.
22:02Linus Tidewater has reached the storytelling stage at The Anchor.
22:08The Anchor's piano is being played by Milo Ferris, who cannot play piano.
22:10Toby Tanner is negotiating with a bar stool and appears to be losing.
22:11Edie Gorse has decided the dartboard is at fault and said so publicly.
23:00The sun breaks through over Seahaven Springs, precisely on cue.
